Javelina Hall of Fame
Harold Hees lettered three years as a fullback in football. A business major from Harlingen, he was one of the team’s leading scorers and rushers in his first season with the club. He was inducted into the Javelina Hall of Fame in 1982.
As a junior, Hees made the All-Lone Star Conference team as the Javelinas won their first-ever LSC championship and then took their first NAIA national title.
Hees was described in the 1960 Texas A&I football media guide as a “fleet breakaway runner who is difficult to bring down”.
The honoree was named to the All-LSC team again in 1960, was All-Texas College and was on the Associated Press Little All-America honorable mention list.
The Javelinas won the LSC and also took the Great Southwest Bowl title in 1960 with Hees in the backfield.
Hees currently has Tideport Petroleum Inc. in Corpus Christi.
